Philipp Grubauer will start Thursday vs. New Jersey.
Grubauer stopped 24 of 25 shots (.960 SV%) for his first win in three starts as he beat Columbus in his previous start. The 31-year-old has struggled mightily this season although being on one of the league's best defensive teams, with his 5-8-2 record, 3.03 GAA and .897 SV%. He takes on the New Jersey Devils, who have won four of their last five games after a 5-4 overtime win over Vancouver in their last start.

Hayden has 13 goals, 12 assists, 51 PIMs and a +6 plus/minus through 36 games with Coachella Valley (AHL) and has been recalled on Thursday for the second time this season.

Matty Beniers is not available for the Krakens' final two games before the All-Star break (upper body).
Beniers left the Krakens' previous game vs. Vancouver after 9:52 TOI due to an upper-body injury and will miss their next two games this weekend (Calgary and Columbus). The 20-year-old leads the Norris Trophy race with his 17 goals, 19 assists, 92 SOG, and a +8 plus/minus through 47 games prior to the injury.
Beniers (upper-body) is questionable to play Friday vs. the Flames.
Beniers was forced to leave Wednesday's game vs. the Canucks after a hit from Tyler Myers and did not return. The Kraken did not have much of an update on Beniers' status post-game, so consider him questionable to play Friday against Calgary.
